The Indiana Pacers have built their team wisely. The current construction gives the Pacers a pool of current talent that allows them to compete in the playoffs, but also affords them the flexibility to make moves to continue to build moving forward.
Unlike some teams who are constantly red-lining the limits of the salary cap, the Pacers fall well short of the cap and have made wise moves to lock up important talent on economical contracts for the foreseeable future.
In a league where players like Tobias Harris — the third of fourth-best player on his team — are getting near max-level money, not overspending is key to building a sustainable winner.
